Tech s Famous Coach Says Forward Pass Is No Longer an Experiment
NEW FOOTBALL COMING INTO ITS OWN====HEISMAN
By J. AW Heisman.
< T lasi the forward pass seems
iA to be coming into its own.
Pw the first time in the
seven years It has been experi
mented with wo are beginning to
rind quite a lot of teams who can
make successful use of the thing.
When the play first became per
missible by rule, I predicted that it
wouldn’t be much of a play to
bank on for several years.
1 knew that the old players who
had never handled it and who bad
been schooled in the old style, of
P ay could no more readily learn it
an utter football novices, for it
w:! s too radical —too far away from
:■>, whole trend and nature of
...tball as it had been played for
the old men to derive any special
mnefit from their past experience
n other departments of the game.
But if the play were taken up
i he prep schools, as, of course, it
ionol be. by the time a varsity
■am was composed entirely of
pavers who had been familiar with
■ from the first day they ever
stepped out on a prep gridiron,
we could expect to see some nice
forward pass work cropping out.
We pause to note one point that
may strike the unthinking as pe
ar. and that is that the small,
i; • i.r unknown teams are using
. p:oy more frequently than are
the big teams, and with ratijer
tore success. The explanation is
- i e Want chance has h light
...r green team to buck through a
superior line for touchdowns'.' What
c anio to beat them by even an
ei : running or a kicking game?
A .solutely none -any more than it
ever had.
Rut the forward pass game is one
that they can play to equal advan
■og with the big fellows. And
t' they ar, meeting with rather
more success with the play than
•he big teams is due to the fact
ti.a tie i recognize it as their one

so the; pr.ti tti-< the play a deal

tempts. Had they elected to run or
buck the ball the three times, they
would probably not have gained the
t«n yards, anyway.
The heavy team will naturally
prefer to use its weight and physi
cal strength in a running and buck
ing game, and if its opponents are
very light, the heavyweights are
liable to retain prolonged posses
sion of the ball and not let the
light team have a chance to show
what it can do with its forward
pass game. If. in addition to this,
the heavy team will put In some
practice on forward passes, so that
they also can do something along
this line, they, of course, make it.
Impossible for the light team to
cope with them.
But the forward pass is doing
so very much better this year with
all teams that it has made a pro
nouncedly good impression with
both players and public, for the
first time in its career. It has come
to stay.
By the way, Howard tried 32 for
ward passes against Mercer in
their recent game. I believe this
is a record number. Eight were
successful, or 250 per cent, which
is a fairly good percentage.

About Being
“On Edge.”
'p HE part that being keyed up
for a particular game plays
in that game is beginning to
be much better understood than
■ formerly. No team can feel en
tirely fit, mentally as well as phys
ically, for every match it goes in.
This was amply illustrated by the
game between Pennsylvania and
Swarthmore a shore time ago.
Penn is a much bigger college than
Swarthmore, with a corresponding
ly greater "rep” and prestige. But
she had a lot of new men on the
team who had to be gradually
broken into the essentials of the
Penn system of football, and so by
the time the Swarthmore game
came along they had learned, as a
team, only about eight or ten plays.
Swarthmo e, on the other hand,
had an entirely veteran team and,
besides outweighing the Quakers
some ten pounds to the man. they
had had plenty of time to review
their well developed game of last
year and to fire the whole thing
with well dire ted aim at the Key
stoners. even thus early in the sea
son. The result was a <5 to 3 de
feat for Penn.
But in addition to these handi
caps. Penn was laboring under the
disadvantage that her coaches did
no: dare bring the team to a physi
cal height this early in the season,
f ■.■ the reason that Carlisle, Michi
gan and Cornell have yet to be
played much later in the season.
Co: Swarthmore this game with
Penn wts the hardest and most im
portant game on her entire sched
ule. She could afford to come to a
height and expend her last mite of
strength and mental alertness in
trying to win the game.
Were the coaches at Penn to em
phasize too strongly the impor
tance of the team winning from
Swarthmore they might win the
game all right, but would they be
capable of a fresh keying up in all
THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. MONDAY. OCTOBER 21. 1912
the other big games of the year?
You just have to take your
choice, as a coach, of what teams
yon are most anxious to w in from
and work to that end. letting hap
pen what will in the other games.
A month from now Swarthmore
could not beat Penn in a dozen
trials.
Cornell is probably taking the
same sane. slow, but sure, course
of work-outs, and the result will
probably be that she will give her
November competitors a hard run
of it.
Right now Princeton looks best
of the Eastern teams, but she may
find in November that she went at
too fast a pace in October, and that
the football Marathon does not al
ways go to the team that runs the
first half the quickest.

Christy Mathewson Greatest of AH, Although He Was Defeated
HEROES OF THIS YEAR’S WORLD'S SERIES-NO. 1
By Harry Glaser.
rrxHF. world's series that has just
passed into history was re
mat kable for many things.
Records of all sorts were broken
and outside of the fact that the Red
Sox won. few of the predictions
made by experts and players came
t rue.
Players of whom much was ex
pected accomplished little, while
some of the lesser lights who we
were told would jeopardise their
team's chances took a leading role
in fighting for the laurels. All of
which again proves the fallacy of
trying to "dope" out a series.
The struggle was unique In that
the leading hero is a member of
the losing team. Mathewson, with
out a doubt, stands out as the most
prominent figure of the great
championship tussle, the most ex
citing and interesting ever contest
ed. despite the fact that many of
the games were loosely played.
The Giants' veteran hurler is
truly as great in defeat as he
could possibly be in victory, for
never did a pitcher struggle more
fcrtmeiy and valiantly, only to have
his best efforts go for naught
through the fault of others. If it
could have been known beforehand
that Matty was capable of pitch
ing three such excellent games as
lie dirt there Isn't a follower of the
pastime in the land who would no)
have conceded the championship to
the Giants at the start.
Thought He Would Fail.
It was freely predicted that he
would fail; that he had seen his
best days. The Matty who gained
everlasting fame by his feats in
that other world's championship In
which the Athletics thrice went
never seemed to do any good in his
case Altogether he was in a pitiable
condition. Many a day he was plying
his vocation when he really should have
been in lied. Hut weak and sick as lie
was, he had too much will power to

down to defeat before him was no
more, said the critics Time had
left its trace and robbed him of
skill and strength. There is no
doubt that he is no longer the pitch
er of former days, still he proved
himself a marvel and amazed even
his admirers by his splendid work.
Matty has been In the game close
to thirteen years, which Is beyond
the limit of usefulness of most
baseball stars. In that time, too,
he has figured more prominently
before the public than any pitcher
in history. He has seen scores of
others come and go. yet there is
not one who has stood the test of
time as has the Giant star.
The granddad of the pitchers
who engaged in the series, Matt)
shouldered the brunt of the work
and outpitched them all. Wood
-was looked upon as head and
shoulders above any pitcher in the
major leagues. But a comparison
of his work in the series with that
of Mathewson's shows the honors
faithfully according to ihstruetioiis. H
again returned to the drug store and
said "I came back to get three more
hotties ot the wonderful Quaker Herb
Extract Sime I used it I have found
that my appetite is good and I am
much stronger. I can get about better
titan I ever could, my troubles have
disappeared, and I am so vet y much
pleased that I am telling all my neigh
bors and friends. I had begun to think
that there was no cure for my trou-
to be in favor of Big Six. He la
bored harder and better than the
Boston star under greater handi
caps. for which he is charged with
two defeats, while Smoky Joe gets
credit for three victories.
Lost By Ragged Defense.
Every one of the three games
Matty twirled should have and
wduld have been a victory had the
Giants been able to rally to his
support. Ragged defense lost the
first battle several times over when
it allowed the Red Sox to tie the
score after the Giants had over
come their early lead, and it went,
as no contest.
When Matty took up the fight a
second time he was opposed by a
brilliant young twlrler In Hugh
Bedient, who outdid himself in that
one game. Never had he displayed
better form, yet the Giants' star
might have won had it not been
that again one of his team mates
faltered at a critical moment and
allowed the winning tally to trickle
over the plate.
And then came hfs third effort-**
that all-important tussle in which
Matty carried the hopes and fears
of the Giant followers. That, as
evert one knows who has kept in
touch with the game, should have
been his at all odds.
Rut once more the players be
hind him were unequal to the task
that the veteran twlrler was carry
ing on so successfully and that is
the reason Boston boasts of a
championship team today.
It matters not that the Giants
lost. Their tiefeat can not detract
from the great work of Christy
Mathewson, and his name will be
linked with the 1912 world's series
as the hero of heroes as long as It
continues to be a memory.
